Are you one of these noodles who thinks that five minutes rain after a
drought starts is enough to mark the end of it?

he never mentioned a drought.

I think you'll find that decalring a drought in Blighty is a sure fire way
to guarantee it ****es it down all year!

That and a full cricket season, a royal jubilee and the Olympics will
guarantee that this will be a bumper year for welly-boot sales.

I think the term "it never rains but it pours" has described the
situation quite well over the years.

A bit like VAT on hot pasties. Deep shock and amazemet! what will we
do now! There was so much less fuss years back when it operated and
was probably phased out due to microwaves at the point of sale exits.

Methinks the educational system is a little flawed these day's, all
these targets and cash for degrees, no wonder national jokes get to
run The HomeOffice.

All my rainwater storage tanks are overflowing, some of my potatoes
are starting to rot in the ground, my radishes are floating in
their tubs, walking through the gardens results in me becoming two
inches taller due to the mud on my boots.

I do have conversations with God :-)
The panels will have been running for a year tomorrow.
They will have generated just over 4000Kwh.
This is about 25% more than predicted.
I got God to send all the rain over to you lot.
I promised himTurNip's soul in exchange.

I am afraid that is already spoken for Harry.
I made a deal with a nature spirit. She is going to eliminate stupidity
from the world. So watch out.

Running on LPG has saved us a small fortune over the last five years.
Quick example - drove to and around Poland/Czech Republic/Slovakia and
noted that on petrol it would have cost us about 950 quid, whereas
actual cost on LPG was about 460 IIRC. Well chuffed lol

It is apparently to be implemented shortly.
It won't affect road fuel but the cost of electricity and gas will be
affected.
Some MEPs are trying to block it, dunno if they'll succeed.

The time to block it was in 2003. Now, at best, all we could hope for is
to maintain grandfather rights, as we have with zero rate VAT on some goods.
